Delayed Sword AB
Delayed sword is design to teach what do you when your back is against the wall or you do not have the room to step back to defend yourself but you need to.
You are not stepping back into cat as much as you are stepping into a Cat stance. The Cat Stance and the inward block should be at the same time.
On A variation when you throw your front snap kick into the groin the opponent should double over or drop to their knees. This will set you up for the knife edge strike to the collar bone.
Instructors and students need to watch the power pattern in the technique you should be using the drop of your body weight to generate the power therefore you should end up in a softbow stance.
B variation is the what if, what if your attacker is not there for the strike, in the case of B we are assuming that they back up from the kick or the saw the kick coming and moved out of the point of contact. In this case you start off just like A but when you go to strike the collar bone you realize they are no longer in range so you go immediately into your kick.
Finally getting around to getting caught up on my reading. I was looking for an RSS feed on your site but there doesn't appear to be one. I did however, connect with the Google Connect.
